It's wonderful that you're not affected by this, but sometimes people are in a hurry, or ill, or tipsy, or have poor eyesight, or have diminished cognition. Should we just toss them under the bus when they don't exercise perf

If you have enough shady people involved in a particular activity, then that activity is effectively shady. Similar to the fact that if you add enough raw sewage to the water supply, you don't have a water supply any more, you just hav

"Abstract: The Art of Design," a series that profiled a notable designer in each episode. It's a bit uneven, and some of the episodes spent too much playing up how clever and amazing the designer is instead of their work, but

Mach-O[1], the executable file format used by macOS and iOS (and other NeXTSTEP descendants) supports stuffing code segments for multiple architectures in the same file, aka "fat binaries"[2]. This is a fat binary that supports 5

Amazon is working on an adaptation of The Peripheral, but don't seem to have announced a release date. Hopefully they'll pick up the rest of the Jackpot trilogy as well.

Our "trivial corner case" is somewhere north of 1M downloads per month. We offer packages for several OS+architecture combinations, and being able to highlight the appropriate download link adds a non-trivial bit of convenience fo
